Natural Awakenings Naples and Fort Myers

Local Holiday Gifts for Uplifting the Spirit You Can Find in South West Florida

Nov 27, 2020 01:13PM ● By Linda Sechrist

While the 2020 holiday season looms large, Natural Awakenings is noticing a growing trend toward the selection of more simple and meaningful gifts intended to renew and uplift the spirit. Perhaps even more than in years before, with deeply felt gratitude for our friends and family, we appear to be focusing more of our thoughts inward, counting the smallest of blessings, opening our hearts to perform simple acts of kindness and choosing gifts that serve as meaningful reminders. To make shopping a local experience, we turned to several Naples and Fort Myers retailers that offer spirit-lifting gifts.


Salt Therapy Grotto, Naples

 It’s all about Himalayan pink crystal salt at the Salt Therapy Grotto. A family member or friend that receives a gift certificate for a series of therapeutic sessions of halotherapy, which constitutes inhaling antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of Himalayan salt, might easily be convinced to indulge on a regular basis. Natural, 100 percent safe and drug-free, halotherapy provides long-term relief. 

The Salt Therapy Grotto provides halotherapy in addition to other wellness services that contribute to the general improvement of the physical health and well-being. Other enjoyable and beneficial services are the infrared sauna and a red light therapy bed.

 Thoughtful Threads, Naples

 Whether it’s a soft, organic, cotton outfit, robe, pillow or cozy cotton blanket, Thoughtful Threads provides a sophisticated and comfortable array of the highest-quality organic and sustainable products available. The gift of organic cotton in any form bestows luxurious comfort upon the recipient. It’s also an investment in the environment. A durable and natural fiber that holds up better than any synthetic material, the sleekly soft and smooth feel of cotton is the result of several factors, including the type of cotton, weave style and thread count. After the recipient has had a night of delicious sleep on scrumptiously soft cotton sheets and is curled up in a warm, snuggly cotton bathrobe reading the Sunday paper or a good book with their favorite coffee mug in hand, they’ll silently thank the giver.

Path of Being, Fort Myers

 Salt scrubs, tools for smudging ceremonies and statuary that represent enlightened beings such as Kwan Yin are just some of the treasures that Path of Being carries. Specifically, during the hectic holiday season when we fall short of completing tasks on a long shopping list, we can use the compassion of Kwan Yin, who in Asian countries is known for her benevolence and a heart that reaches out to those in need.

Beautiful gemstone mala beads can complement a meditation practice, helping the meditator to redirect the mind, slow respiration and encourage well-being. Scented candles infused with crystals add ambiance and energy to any room, while colored, chakra-influenced candle lamps add beauty and focus to any altar.

Silver Eagle Gallery, Naples

 At Silver Eagle Gallery, shoppers will find an extensive gem and mineral gallery, as well as a large and impressive collection of Native American art and Native American jewelry for women and men from the American Southwest. The symbolism in the art of Native Americans represents their beliefs, honors their families and brings beauty to the world.

The timelessness and eye-catching beauty of blue-green turquoise, honed by the fine craftsmanship of Native American jewelers, will impress the shopper considering a selection from among the wide variety of exquisite pendants, bracelets, earrings, belt buckles, necklaces and rings, as well as other items such as dreamcatchers. The authentic Native American version in the Ojibwa (Chippewa) tribe was used as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares. The legend is that bad dreams got caught in the dream catcher’s web.
